Alterations: Made smaller than the model in the book using Cheryl Oberle's own formula, which worked perfectly. Used fewer colors than suggested, and only one weight of yarn. Fringes cut to six inches, and not tied (except for initial overhand knot used to connect new strand of yarn).

Notes: Thanks to Colorado Jon who alerted me to the pattern in the first place, and to Cheryl Oberle who pointed out that it was suited to alterations in size. Love ya.

The piece looked absolutely horrible until the final bit of finishing, at which point it became an object of lust and envy for every woman in my office (I trimmed the fringes on the large table in the dining room of the house I work in).

The collar shaping is the genius bit - it turns a garment that would otherwise be awkward to wear into something that fits like a glove, keeps the neck warm, and drapes like a dream.

And it's reversible.

A highly rewarding project. I would recommend, however, that it be approached as a long-term undertaking. Since there is no shaping until the collar, and it's all garter stitch, working on it for long stretches can be monotonous. And at a gauge of eight rows to the inch, knitting to a width of 46 inches feels a little like bailing out the Atlantic Ocean with a teacup.

As much of a marathon as the knitting might have been, you have created a beautiful garment that suits your sister, fits wonderfully, and is greatly appreciated. All that and who needs a bag of chips mmm-Hmmm *snap*

that project in that book, which i had in my hand yesterday when i went in to exchange the Yarn Harlot for the newer Yarn Harlot, did not appeal to me at all based on the pix in the book , but now i may be hooked. yours is much more appealing than that worn by the books model! much...do you need another sister? ( i'm really small so it would be a short run project)

This is gorgeous! I have no one to make one for me so I have purchased one from a department store made from 100% acrylic. I do love it, but am wondering how warm it will be. Also, how do you carry a shoulder bag wearing one of these?Thanks. Gail

Now THIS is an heirloom project! I can see this being handed down and treasured for generations, and it will fit everyone - unlike a cashmere sweater. In these days of disposable garments, you've inspired me to plan something I can pass on later. Thanks for the mind-shift.
